Tiberius is mentioned in the context of the New Testament as a chronological marker for the beginning of John the Baptist's ministry. In Luke 3:1 (BSB), it states, "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness."

Tiberius' rule is characterized by a period of relative stability in the Roman Empire, although his later years were marked by political purges and a retreat from public life. His governance indirectly influenced the socio-political environment in which Jesus' ministry unfolded, as Roman authority and local Jewish leadership were intertwined during this period.
